Description

IP Installer

The B020-Series KVM switch comes with an IP Installer application that allows Windows computers to easily view and edit the KVM's

network settings. This section determines what access the IP Installer has to the KVM switch.

• Enabled – When selected, the IP Installer can locate the KVM switch on the network and display its current IP address. It also allows the

IP Installer to be used to change the IP address of the KVM switch.

• View Only – When selected, the IP Installer can locate the KVM switch on the network and display its current IP address, but it cannot be

used to change the IP address of the KVM switch.

• Disabled – When selected, the IP Installer cannot locate the KVM switch on the network, nor can it be used to change the IP address of

the KVM switch.

Service Ports

This section allows you to set up port numbers that will be allowed by a firewall. If the port numbers on this page are not allowed access by

the firewall, you will not be able to access the KVM switch. Valid entries for all of the service ports are from 1 to 65535. Note: You must

enter a different port number for each field. If the KVM is connected to a network without a firewall, it doesn't matter what these ports are

set to, as they will have no effect.

• Program – This is the port number that is used when accessing connected computers via the browser and non-browser Windows and

Java clients. It is also the port number that is used when accessing virtual media. The default value is 9000. Note: This port number

must match the port number in the non-browser Windows and Java clients when using them to connect to the KVM switch.

• HTTP – This is the port that is used for a browser login. The default value is 80.

• HTTPS – This is the port that is used for a secure browser login. The default is 443.

IPv4 Settings

The B020-Series KVM switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6. If you wish to use an IPv6 IP address, ignore this section.

• Obtain an IP Address Automatically (DHCP) – When this option is checked, the KVM switch will have its IP address assigned to it by a

DHCP server upon booting up, and the remaining fields in this section will be grayed out. This option is checked by default.
